Event organizer, Thomas Lightbourne, said of the event, “Movie Lounge has become a hugely popular event. People are always asking about when the next one is. It’s a great way to end the work week and Queen Elizabeth Park provides the ultimate outdoor theatre. We’re pleased to be able to offer current films, free to the public, and to have families come out and enjoy the park.”

“Kids are encouraged to wear their best superhero costumes as there are prizes to be won. A Wrinkle in Time is rated PG and Avengers: Infinity War is rated PG-13. In the case of inclement weather, Movie Lounge will be cancelled.”
